The Big Printed Ceiling

As part of the Big Draw 2014 visitors to our sites were inspired by the amazing painted ceilings that once adorned Scotland’s Castles. Working with local artist Clare Yarrington participants took inspiration from the painted designs at Aberdour, Huntingtower and Stirling Castles to create our very own Big Printed Ceiling!

New Schools Activity Programme Online!

Our brand new schools programme is now online with an enhanced search facility to improve usability. We’ve also been working to give our webpages a bit of a makeover to improve access and reflect the nature of the work we do with schools, young people and community groups at our sites across Scotland.

This has also enabled us to do our bit for the environment by cutting down on printed materials. We’d love to know what you think so please get in touch if you have any feedback or would like to know more about our work.

Our new Schools Activity Programme is now online and you can search for interactive curriculum linked activities for leaners aged 3-18!
